4. Tim Meadows (9 1/2 seasons; 1991-2000)
5. Kevin Nealon (9 seasons; 1986-1995)
5. Fred Armisen (9 seasons; 2002-2011)
6. Phil Hartman (8 seasons; 1986-1993)
6. Horatio Sanz (8 seasons; 1998-2006)
6. Will Forte (8 seasons; 2002-2010)
6. Keenan Thompson (8 seasons; 2003-2011)

7. Maya Rudolph (7 seasons; 2000-2007)
7. Amy Poehler (7 seasons; 2001-2008)

Who's going to move onto this list or move up the list by the end of this season?

- Seth Meyers (11 seasons; 2001-2012)
- Fred Armisen (10 seasons; 2002-2012)
- Keenan Thompson (9 seasons; 2003-2012)
- Jason Sudeikis (7 1/2 seasons; 2005-2012)
- Andy Samberg (7 seasons; 2005-2012)
- Bill Hader (7 seasons; 2005-2012)
- Kristen Wiig (7 seasons; 2005-2012)

So those who are still on the show and are currently on this list (they're slowly making their way up it) are Keenan Thompson, Fred Armisen, and Seth Meyers.

Andy Samberg, Bill Hader, Kristen Wiig, and Jason Sudeikis will likely not get 8 seasons (they have all had successful films or other projects). Fred also might leave SNL, since his Portlandia series got renewed.

Enjoy!
